SB 229 Search warrants; allows an affidavit to be delivered by facsimile after it is certified.

Search warrants; affidavits, etc. Allows an affidavit
in support of a search warrant to be delivered by facsimile after it is
certified and provides that the certifying officer's designee or agent may
deliver the affidavit. The bill adds a requirement that a copy of the affidavit
be delivered to the clerk of the circuit court in the county or city where the
warrant is issued if different than the county or city where the search is to
be made. The inventory of seized property will go to the circuit court of the county
or city where the search was conducted. The bill specifies that the officer or
his designee or agent may deliver the warrant, inventory, and accompanying affidavit
in person, by certified mail or by facsimile. This bill is identical to HB
941.
